One hundred and fifty-seven cases of Graves' disease were divided into three groups according to their clinical features and thyroid functions: Group A, untreated; group B, treated but uncontrolled or relapsed; group C, treated and remitted. The positive rates of TSH receptor antibody (TRAb), anti-tnyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), anti-microsomal antibody (TmAb), anti-DNA antibody and anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) were 91.2, 79.4, 79.4, 70.6 and 23.5% respectively in group A. The positive rate of TRAb and TBII were significantly different between group C and group A or B (both P

Objective: To explore the relationship between plasma levels of soluble receptor of advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac function in patients with sepsis.
Methods: A total of 83 sepsis patients treated in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-06 were studied. Plasma levels of sRAGE, BNP were examined at 24 h after admission and they were evaluated by APACHEII scores. According to BNP levels, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Normal cardiac function group, the patients with BNP<500 pg/ml, n=32 and Cardiac dysfunction group, the patients with BNP≥500 pg/ml, n=51. The cardiac function as stroke volume (SV), LVEF, minute volume, E/A were examined by echocardiography. The above indexes were analyzed and compared between 2 groups, the relationship between plasma levels of sRAGE and the occurrence of sepsis was assessed by Logistic regression analysis.
Results: Compared with Normal cardiac function group, the patients in Cardiac dysfunction group presented decreased SV, LVEF, minute volume and E/A;increased APACHEII scores and sRAGE, all P<0.01. Plasma levels of sRAGE in sepsis patients were positively related to BNP (r=0.90, P<0.05) and APACHEII scores (r=0.85, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that plasma levels of sRAGE (OR=1.019, 95%CI 1.004-1.035, P<0.05) was independently related to cardiac function in patients with sepsis.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of sRAGE were independently related to cardiac function in patients with sepsis.

AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of capsular tension ring ( CTR) combined with iris hooks in eyes with large traumatic zonular dialysis or weakness that underwent micro -incision coaxial phacoemulsification with posterior chamber ( PC ) intraocular lens ( lOL) implantation.METHODS: This prospective study was carried on 21 patients ( 21 eyes ) with traumatic cataract and traumaticzonular dialysis (<180 degrees determined pre-or intra-operatively ) in our hospital from January 2011 to September 2014. After CCC, 1-4 iris hooks might be used probably and a in-the-bag CTR was inserted in order to maintain or re-establish an extended capsular diaphragm before or at any time during cataract removal. Then micro-incision coaxial phacoemulsification with foldable acrylic PC lOL implantation was performed. Zonular dialysis range, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, pupil size, best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( lOP ) in the pre- and post-operative periods and postoperative lOL decentration were observed after operation.RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3 ~12mo. No serious postoperative complication was found. BCVA in our cases: <0. 3 in 1 eye, 0. 4~0. 7 in 15 eyes ,>0. 8 in 5 eyes. lOPs were in normal range too. The lOLs in 20 eyes remained the required position to the final follow- up examination except one eye in which the PC lOL was dislocated into vitreous cavity due to a postoperative spontaneity PCR, and in which vitrectomy and lOL suture fixation was performed.CONCLUSlON: ln cases of cataract associated with traumatic zonular dialysis (<180.) , by setting the rational parameters of phacoemulsification, the CTR and iris hooks are found to be efficient in preventing lOL decentration and reducing operation complication. ln our cases, the CTR combined with iris hooks is relatively safe application.
